Notes [help]
General note			No public comment.
Private note			The failures of tests t21 and t30 are known issues with the Isite server software.
Private note			Test t51 is a known issue with the Isite server software.
Private note			Test p03 shows the same result as p02 and a different result to p04. This is a conflicting result, and it seems that the target is treating the Relation Attribute "within" (8) the same as "overlaps" (7). This is a known issue with the Isite server software.
Private note			Tests p22 and p23 are known issues with the Isite server software.
Private note			Test t25 is not implemented with this old Isite server software.

Note: Only a specific set of tests is conducted (the Z39.50 protocol is vast).
Note: Only the node manager and other specially selected people can view each full report.
Note: The reports are deliberately terse. Node managers are expected to understand the Z39.50 protocol.
Note: Most Use Attribute errors occur because a target is not configured to conduct queries against that metadata field. Sometimes the absence of metadata for that field (e.g. Place Keyword) also manifests as an "Unsupported Use Attribute" error.
Note: Certain tests are automatically skipped (yellow box) if a previous test failed whose capability was needed for this test.
Note: Test t12 is a deliberate failure. Each node should properly report a failure for this test. If it reports a pass, then all other results must be treated as dubious.
